“This is just
a glimpse into the abyss,” former [London]
Metropolitan Police Commander John O’Connor told Sky
News. “Someone’s pulled the clock back and you
can look and see what’s beneath the surface. And what
with the Olympic Games coming up, this doesn’t bode
very well for London.”

The latest reports indicate protests and at times
riots are spreading throughout Europe and around the
world, adding to the chaos and lawlessness we’ve seen
in Greece, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Libya, Mexico,
Somalia, and elsewhere in recent months.

One of the signs of the “last days,” according to Matthew
24:12, will be that “lawlessness is
increased.” It would certainly appear that we’re
seeing a rise of lawlessness at the moment. Consider
